Package: nvidia-glx Version: 195.36.31-6 Severity: wishlist Hi,
As the nvidia X driver is not autodetected, please consider installing a minimal Xorg configuration file to /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ during the installation of the nvidia-glx package. For example, the following snippet (as featured in README.Debian) could be installed as /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/examples/20-nvidia.conf, then copied to /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ during package post-installation: Section "Device" Identifier "My GPU" Driver "nvidia" EndSection This would assist in initial use of the driver and possibly eliminate the need for a helper tool such as nvidia-xconfig.
